COMPLETE  LIST  OF  THE  OFFICIAL  COUKT  REPORTERS 
OF  THE  UNITED  STATES,  Showing  Nearly  One-Half  to  be 
Writers  of  GBAHAM'S  STANDABD  PHONOGRAPHY. 


An  accurate  list  of  the  OFFICIAL  Court  Reporters  of  all  the  States  having  laws 
for  their  appointment,  has  been  compiled  this  year  (1S93),  at  great  labor  and 
expense,  and  conclusively  settles  the  question  as  to  which  system  is  most 
generally  used  by  the  expert  reporters  of  this  country.  In  addition  to  this  list 
there  are  hundreds  of  expert  reporters  who  write  the  Graham  system  and  do  court 
and  general  reporting  in  all  the  States  and.  Territories.  A  copy  of  the  list  will  be 
sent  free  to  any  address  on  application  to  us. 

How  is  it  possible  to  present  more  convincing  evidence  of  the  great  superiority 
of  the  Graham  system,  which  for  thirty-five  years  has  been  subjected  to  the 
most  thorough  tests  ? 

The  list  shows  that  a  considerable  number  of  the  writers  of  other  systems 
acknowledge  the  superiority  of  the  Graham  system,  by  largely  incorporating  it 
with  those  which  they  had  the  misfortune  to  learn. 


Total  number  whose  systems  are  known,  635.

UNSOLICITED  TESTIMONIALS  FROM  EXPERTS. 


From  Hon.  W.  T.  Harris,  V.  S.  Commissioner  of  Education. 

"  I  have  carefully  examined  the  '  Hand-Book  of  Standard  Phonography,'  and 
do  not  hesitate  to  say,  that  Standard  Phonography  is  as  great  an  improvement 
upon  the  Pitman  Phonography  as  that  was  upon  the  old  stenographies.  To  the 
reporter  it  is  indispensable.  Phonographic  reporting  may  now  be  said  to  have 
become  a  SCIENCE.  What  was  formerly  anomalous,  now  gives  place  to  general 
principles ;  and  the  materials  which  previously  were  presented  in  a  confused, 
chaotic  way,  are  reduced  to  the  order  of  science. 

"  Mr.  Graham's  phonography  is,  I  think,  capable  of  being  written  with  at 
least  thirty  per  cent,  more  of  speed  than  any  other  system." 


From  the  Official  Keporters  of  the  Gen'l  Conference  of  the  M.  E.  Church. 

OMAHA,  NEB.,  May  18,  1892. 

We,  the  undersigned,  members  of  the  Staff  of  Official  Reporters  of  the 
Quadrennial  General  Conference  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  esteem  it  a 
great  privilege  to  testify,  that,  after  many  years  of  experience  in  shorthand 
writing,  we  find  ourselves  fully  satisfied  with  Graham's  Standard  Phonography. 
We  have  had  individual  experience  varying  from  twelve  to  thirty-five  years  in 
shorthand  writing.  We  have  had  much  work  to  do  in  ecclesiastical,  literary, 
scientific,  legal,  and  other  forms  of  reportorial  work,  and  have  found,  that  the 
more  closely  we  held  to  the  general  principles  of  Standard  Phonography,  the 
better  we  succeeded  in  our  work. 

We  are  agreed  that,  to  the  best  of  our  knowledge,  no  system  of  shorthand 
equals  that  of  Standard  Phonography  in  its  beauty,  brevity,  or  conciseness  of 
expression,  and  general  harmony  of  the  principles  presented.

From  Fred  Irland,   Official  Reporter,  House  of  Representatives, 
Washington,  D.  C. 

"  He  [Andrew  J.  Graham]  did  for  me,  in  my  early  youth,  what  he  has  done 
for  thousands  of  others — made  the  daily  work  in  which  I  have  so  long  been  en- 
gaged an  easy  and  pleasant  task.  I  first  saw  a  copy  of  his  wonderful  Hand-Book 
when  I  was  sixteen  years  old.  I  was  then  a  writer  of  an  inexact  and  unscientific 
system  of  shorthand  ;  and  probably  as  bigoted  a  partisan  of  the  system  I  wrote  as 
could  be  found.  Mr.  Graham's  system  was  not  advocated  by  anybody  so  far  as  I 
was  concerned.  It  won  its  way  to  my  approbation  simply  by  what  I  saw  in  the 
book.  It  seemed  very  easy  to  learn,  and  since  then  I  have  always  found  it  swift 
and  certain,  and,  though  I  am  an  indifferent  penman,  the  symmetry  and  sim- 
plicity of  the  system  have  always  made  writing  and  reading  so  easy  that  I  frankly 
confess  I  cannot  understand  the  statement  that  anyone  finds  it  difficult. 

"  I  regard  Mr.  Graham  as  one  of  the  very  great  men  of  the  intellectual  world. 
A  true  friend,  a  warm  partisan,  a  genius  in  arrangement  and  systemization,  he 
was,  during  his  life,  the  object  of  many  envious  attacks  by  men  who  little  knew 
how  small  they  seemed  as  they  surrounded  him.  The  system  he  gave  to  us, 
needing  no  changes  from  the  time  of  its  first  publication,  will  probably  be  the 
principal  vehicle  for  the  exact  recording  of  rapid  speech  as  long  as  shorthand  is 
written.  In  every  court-room  and  public  assemblage  in  the  English-speaking 
world  where  reporting  is  done,  the  hand  of  the  reporter,  consciously  or  uncon- 
sciously, pays  continual  tribute  to  Mr.  Graham's  genius,  because  his  abbreviating 
expedients  have  more  or  less  permeated  the  writing  of  every  phonographer,  and, 
I  believe,  this  will  be  so  more  and  more. 
'•WASHINGTON,  D.  C.,  June  7th,  1894." 

From  Prof.  T.  J.  Ellinwood,  Official  Reporter  of  Henry  Ward  Beecher's 
Discourses  for  3O  Years. 

"  I  had  frequent  opportunities  for  observing  the  ease  and  accuracy  with  which 
he  [Andrew  J.  Graham]  performed  feats  of  reporting  that  were  impossible  to  the 
ordinary  stenographer ;  and  so  convinced  was  I  of  the  many  advantages  afforded 
by  his  method  that  I  adopted  it ;  and  ever  since  I  have  felt  greatly  indebted  to 
him  for  his  numerous  valuable  devices,  which  have  enabled  me,  as  a  shorthand 
writer  and  teacher,  to  do  my  wofk  with  far  greater  facility  and  satisfaction  than 
I  could  otherwise  have  done  it." 

From  Prof.  E.  H.  Magill,  for  23  Tears  President  of  Swarthmore  College, 
Swarthmore,  Pa. 

"  Among  the  many  men  who  have  attempted  the  introduction  and  general 
diffusion  of  a  knowledge  of  shorthand  writing  in  the  past  two  hundred  years,  I 
believe  that  not  one  has  don:  more  valuable  work,  and  work  likely  to  have  a 
permanent  value,  than  Andrew  J.  Graham.  I  studied  the  Pitman  system  when 
it  was  first  introduced  into  this  country  by  the  works  and  the  lectures  of  Andrews 
and  Boylo.  Since  then  I  have  followed  the  movements  of  Benn  Pitman  and 
others,  even  including  some  attention  to  the  so-called  '  Takygraphy,'  and  I  have 
never  found  anything  equal  to  the  Graham  system.  I  have  a  copy  of  Graham's 
'  Standard-Phonographic  Dictionary ' — a  most  careful,  painstaking,  and  elaborate 
work  of  1,053  pages — and  have  had  this  book  bound  in  three  volumes  for  notes 
and  references,  and  it  has  long  been  with  me  a  standard  reference  on  all  points 
as  to  doubtful  forms  for  words  and  phrases.  I  find  the  arrangement  of  it  simply 
admirable  in  all  respects.  I  tell  all  my  friends  that  life  is  too  short  to  give  the 
time  to  the  study  of  more  than  one  system  of  shorthand,  and  I  advise  all  to  make 
that  one  the  system  devised  by  Andrew  J.  Graham.  His  patient  perseverence, 
and  most  conscientious  thoroughness  and  painstaking,  are  manifest  in  every 
work  that  he  has  ever  produced.  That  is  what  is  sure  to  give  to  his  labors  a  per- 
manent value. 

"  It  is  scarcely  necessary  to  add  that  I  have  used  no  other  text-books  in  teach- 
ing phonography  for  many  years,  both  in  Swarthmore  College  and  elsewhere, 
,  than  those  of  Andrew  J.  Graham.

From  lucien  Knight,  Official  Court  Reporter,  Kansas  City,  Mo. 

"  I  have  always  been  an  ardent  believer  in  Graham's  Shorthand,  and  after 
some  considerable  examination  of  other  systems,  it  seems  to  me  that  it  stands 
preeminent  in  the  shorthand  field.  As  for  the  so-called  '  improvements '  on  that 
system,  they  seem  to  me  attempts  •  to  gild  refined  gold,  to  paint  the  lily.'  "

From  William  Anderson,  Official  Reporter,  Court  of  General  Sessions, 
New  York  City. 

"After a  daily  professional  use  of  shorthand  for  the  last  twenty-five  years,  I 
unhesitatingly  state,  that  Graham's  Standard  Phonography  is  the  only  system  by 
which  very  rapid  speakers  can  be  reported  verbatim.  The  text-books  of  this 
American  author  are  marvels  of  skill  and  industry,  and  give  a  thorough  and 
complete  exposition  of  the  science  and  art  of  Phonography  in  its  most  approved 
form." 

From  Charles  A.  Graham,  Official  Court  Reporter,  Louisville,  K.\ . 

"  It  is  right  amusing  to  read  the  opinions  of  the  two-year-old  reporters,  and 
book-phonographers,  who  don't  know  the  first  thing  in  the  world  about  actual 
reporting,  as  to  the  "utter  illegibility  of  Graham's."  Years  ago  I  made  up  my 
inind  to  write  entirely  after  Graham,  and  I  .have  a  Standard-Phonographic 
Dictionary  at  my  house,  and  one  lying  on  my  office  table,  and  use  them  both 
constantly.  I  know  that  I  have  as  much  reading  to  do  as  any  stenographer  can 
have,  and  1  never  get  stuck." 

From  Hon.  Charles  A.  Sumner,  San  Francisco,  Cal. 

"  Standard  Phonography— The  only  system  worth  the  attempt  to  learn." 
From  Morris  E.  Jones,  Official  Court  Reporter,  Kansas  City,  Mo. 

"  My  conversion  from  Benn-Pitmanism  was  so  strong  and  so  thorough,  that  1 
became  possessed  of  that  missionary  spirit  which  has  ever  actuated  me  in  later 
years.  While  I  have  not  attempted  to  investigate  any  of  the  wonderful  improve- 
ments that  have  sprung  up  on  every  hand  during  the  last  fifteen  years,  and  have 
not  been  disposed  to  criticize  them  in  the  various  'organs'  through  whu-h  they 
have  been  published,  I  have  never  for  one  moment  forgotten  that  it  was  a 
thorough  mastery  of  the  principles  of  Standard  Phonography,  and  a  close 
adherence  to  them  in  practice,  that  placed  me,  early  in  my  career  as  a  reporter, 
beyond  the  necessity  of  seeking  improvements  and  a  constant  change  for  some- 
thing better.  Whatever  reputation  1  have  in  the  line  of  my  profession  and  skill, 
I  owe  to  Graham's  shortest  shorthand,  and  I  have  therefore,  at  all  times,  when- 
ever opportunity  offered,  put  in  a  good  word  for  it." 

From  Geo.  Jf.  Hillman,  Official  Court  Reporter,  St.  Paul,  Minn. 

"After  more  than  twenty  years'  use  of  Graham's  Phonography,  I  am  more 
than  ever  convinced  that  the  closer  one  sticks  to  Graham,  the  easier  and  better 
will  be  his  reporting  of  the  most  rapid  utterance." 

From  Henry  L..  Burnell,  Official  Reporter  of  the  Pennsylvania  Senate. 

"  Editor  STUDENT'S  JOURNAL,  744  Broadway,  XT.  Y. 

"  Dear  Sir :  I  was  very  much  interested  in  the  conclusive  exhibit  of  the  super- 
iority of  Standard  Phonography  made  in  the  August  and  September  numbers  of 
the  JOURNAL.  It  confirms  my  own  observation,  covering  a  period  from  1868  to 
date,  as  to  the  large  majority  among  the  official  reporters  of  the  United  States 
•who  write  the  Graham  system. 

"For  my  own  part  I  can  say  that  I  began  with  Benir  Pitman,  dallied  consider- 
ably with  Munson,  and  was  introduced  to  Standard  Phonography  while  at  Michigan 
University  by  W.  J.  English,  Esq.,  and  at  once  recognized  its  superior  merits, 
adopted  it  and  have  been  preaching  it  to  all  who  have  come  in  my  way  ev«>r 
since,  and  my  faith  in  it  grows  with  every  new  occasion  in  which  I  am  called  on 
to  put  it  to  a  severe  test. 

"  I  have  tried  it  in  all  the  variety  of  work  that  an  extensive  practice  in  courts 
has  demanded,  in  sermon  reporting,  medical  association,  political  and  literary 
work,  and  have  never  found  it  wanting.  Last  spring,  as  the  reporter  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Senate,  I  enjoyed  opportunities  to  test  it  on  a  variety  of  subjects 
and  with  some  rapid  speakers  commanding  a  broad  vocabulary,  but,  as  always, 
it  demonstrated  its  entire  adequacy  for  whatever  purposes  reporters  use  short- 
hand. 

"  A  reporter  is  not  always  satisfied  with  his  own  performances,  however  perfect 
the  instrument  which  he  uses,  in  the  variety  of  physical  and  mental  conditions 
in  which  he  may  find  himself  during  a  long  period  of  years  devoted  to  hard 
work,  but  he  can  always  lean  with  unfaltering  confidence  on  Standard  Phonog- 
raphy, no  matter  what  else  may  fail,  in  his  most  exacting  tasks." 

From  Henry  L,.  Denison,  Official  Court  Reporter,  Denver,  Col.

TESTIMONIALS,  OPINIONS  OF  THE  PRESS,  ETC. 

From  Herschel  Whitaker,  Official  Court  Reporter,  Detroit,  Mich. 

"The  publication  of  Graham's  system  of  phonography  marked  an  epoch  in 
shorthand  writing.  What  McCormick  gave  to  agriculture,  Graham  gave  to  short- 
hand. McCormick  made  it  possible  by  the  reaper  to  largely  increase  the  oppor- 
tunity of  the  husbandman,  and  to  harvest  his  crops  with  ease.  Graham,  by  his 
methods,  enlarged  the  opportunity  for  thousands  to  embark  in  a  profession  which 
had  hitherto  been  closed  to  them  under  the  older  and  cruder  systems  of  report- 
ing. He  constructed  a  system  based  upon  sound  principles,  and  his  text-books 
are  complete  essays  upon  the  subject  of  which  they  treat.  Unlike  the  authors  of 
other  systems  of  stenography,  he  withheld  his  work  from  the  public  until  he  had 
developed  a  complete  system.  When  he  finally  presented  his  work  it  was  com- 
plete and  needed  no  further  improvement.  The  principles  upon  which  his  sys- 
tem was  constructed  were  so  broad  and  comprehensive  that  they  covered  the 
field  and  left  nothing  to  be  supplied. 
'•DETROIT,  MICH.,  June  2, 1894." 

From   Andrew  Devine,  Official    Reporter,   House  of  Representatives, 
Washington,  D.  C. 

"  1  believe  Standard  Phonography  to  be  the  best  system  extant  for  those  who 
have  the  natural  qiialifications  required  for  first-class  reporting. 

"  As  to  the  alleged  difficulty  of  reading  Standard  Phonography  compared  with 
other  systems,  I  can  only  say,  that  I  believe  I  have  had  as  extensive  and  as  try- 
ing experience  as  any  reporter  of  my  time,  in  reading  original  notes  before  civil 
courts  and  courts-martial,  before  Committees  of  both  Houses  of  Congress  and 
before  the  House  of  Representatives  itself,  and  tb,fct  I  have  never  in  any  instance 
failed  or  felt  embarrassed  in  doing  that  kind  of  work  ;  nor  have  I  ever  met  any- 
one who  could  read  his  shorthand  better  than  I  could  read  mine." 

From  B.  C.  Brown,  Official  Court  Reporter,  San  Francisco,  Cal. 

"  I  commenced  the  study  of  shorthand  in  1863,  and  after  struggling  painfully 
with  several  inferior  systems,  from  which  I  received  more  injury  than  benefit,  I 
was  about  to  give  up  the  hope  of  ever  becoming  a  competent  stenographer,  when 
Mr.  Charles  A.  Sumner  called  my  attention  to  Graham's  works,  and  placed 
Graham's  Second  Reader  in  my  hands.  Its  harmony,  simplicity,  and  compact- 
ness, were  a  revelation  to  me.  As  rapidly  as  possible,  I  divested  myself  of  the  bad 
phonographic  habits  formed  by  previous  study,  and  in  a  short  time  made  great 
progress  in  speed.  Had  I  studied  Graham  from  the  first,  I  would  have  reached 
the  acquired  competency  long  before  I  did.  As  it  was,  my  task  was  harder  than 
if  I  had  never  before  seen  a  shorthand  book." 


OPINIONS  OF  THE  PKESS  CONCERNING  THE  FIEST  EDITION 
'  OF  THE  HAND-BOOK. 


From  a  long  review  in  the  NEW  YOKE  EVENING  POST. 

"Mr.  Graham  has  locg  been  known  as  an  accomplished  verbatim  reporter, 
and  a  successful  teacher  of  Phonography,  and  he  has  manifestly  bestowed  a 
large  amount  of  labor  and  research  in  perfecting  this  work.  He  has  reduced 
the  art  to  a  complete  science,  perfect  in  all  its  details,  having  used  the  English 
Phonography  only  as  a  basis  for  his  own  system." 

From  the.  NEW  YORK  DALLY  NEWSI. 

"  The  present  volume  is  an  ENCYCLOPEDIA  of  the  principles  and  practice  of 
this  admirable  system  of  writing  Phonography.  By  easy  steps  the  student  is 
conducted  from  the  elements  of  Phonography  to  those  refinements  and  nicetios 
which  are  required  for  the  purposes  of  the  finished  reporter.  .  .  .  The  whole 
forms  an  entire  system  of  Standard  Phonography." 

From  the  SCIENTIFIC  AMERICAN. 

"  To  all  -who  wish  to  attain  a  knowledge  of  the  art  of  Phonography  this  book 
will  be  a  valuable  companion,  and  the  already  proficient  will  find  in  it  ruany 
hints  by  which  they  may  profit  in  reporting.  It  is,  we  think,  a  successful  attempt 

to    SYSTEMATIZE    PHONOGRAPHY,     AND    PLACE    IT    BEYOND    THE    CHANCE    OF    FUTUKH 

CHANGE,  so  that  any  person  acquiring  it  now  will  not  have  to  be  continually  alter- 
ing, correcting,  and  unlearning  what  he  has  already  acquired."
